I had a Ford Escort that some hospital staff did this to when I was in for my lung. Fried my 100A main fusible link and toasted my alternator. Since then I never let anyone else hookup anything to my battery. Actually I didn't let anybody before that, my mother was the one who let them attempt a charge. (enough griping though)
Safe to say it's not your battery, if you can idle the car and various elec. equip. (headlights/radio) still work then your battery is supplying power. I'd start checking your fuses, all of them. Keep an eye out for a battery discharge indicator. Every vehicle I've seen this done to had the alternator fried. (4 vehicles/only one was mine)
Hope it goes well
